member that Ged has keen eye
sight and a long memory.
Indeed, it is the lack of the feel
ing that one ought to have some
recompense for his good deeds
that distinguishes the gentleman
from the common people. The
man who says, cts no good to do
kind things, because nobody ever
gets any thanks for it," is not a
gentleman and never viii be, I'M
less he gets rid of his selfish no
tons.
The gentleman never is anxious
to have people know who or what
he is; witho 1t being conceited he
knows that character AMI conduct
will Introduce him in time, and do
the business more thoroughly
than any amount of talk can do.
He never talks about himself or
his belongings, aid what they cost
him, by this sign you may always
distinguish him from the swell
and the pretender.
Often he belongs 10 the church,
but if he livel thousand years,
and you were to meet him every
day, you couldn't find out from
his conversation what his donomi-
nation is, Tor to him a mans be-
liefs his own included-amount

his life.
The true lady differs from the
gentleman only as sister from

applies as well to her. Shabby
clothes, poor fare, hard work, and
a house with bare walls sometimes

4 TOUCHING SCENE

! Out IN q large western clty,. a.
ona-arlned tramp was aFralgnec
before tie city recorder who
seemed to have walked over the
continent. He was tail, and
though in rags, bad an appear
ance Of having been reared In
luxury.
The recorder, who was a man
of 35 or 80 years of age, looked
upon the offender sternly, saying:
"You are accused Of vagrancy and
drunkenness; what have you get
to offer as an excuses"
The tramp arose, and looking
into the eyes of the recorder, said:
"As to drunkenness, | deny the
assertion. After wandering over
the United States in search OF my
loved ones, [ arrived in this city
three days since, vagrant by THO
law, harmless, penniless, sick and
hungry. l was weak for want OF

drunkenness. TO make my story,

ready for the grave, but | want to

life exists--I feel that l will find
my boy some day."
The recorder had paled and was
trembling like leaf in the wind.
Arising, he beckoned to the tramp
to follow him into an adjoining
room, and in there the scene was
shut out from the eyes Of the GU
rioas. A sobbing was heard, and
the recorder was heard to say,
Father; oh, my father;we thought
you were dead" and in few min
utes he returned, saying, "the
prisoner will be taken care OF.
He is my own father, whom we
heard was killed in battle. My
mother, after the Union army had
moved into our Southern country,
returned to the North. Having
heard that he was killed, she mar

that was the reason we had never
heard Of her. He shall now stop
his travels and find home with
me-" and, with tears of Joy beam
ing in his eyes, he presented the
tramp 10 his friends, all Of whom
gave him a hearty welcome. A few
days after he was on the street,
dressed up handsomely and at
tracted attention and respect by
his manly appearance.

sToNEwALL JACKsOS's SPIRIT
Mounted on q Gray Horse it Rides
Through the Barracks Of the Vir-
ginia Military Institute.

Through the Barracks Of the Vir-
ginia Military Institute.
Lexington, Va, Special to Times Demo-
crat.
A considerable sensation has
been created at the Virginia Mill
tary Institute here and in this
section by q remarkable phenome-
non, or optical illusion, or what
ever it may be called, in which
those who witnessed the sight in
sist they discovered a wonderful
likeness to Gen. Stonewall Jack
son in the strange visitant. At
the breaking out of the war that
officer was q professor in this in
stitute.
The following statement is given
by James Hilton, a we'll known
citizen of this place: Il send you
a thrilling and trne account Of a
gaost which has receatly appear
ell al the Virginia Military Insti-
tute. On the night Of the 2Sth,
shortly after IL o'clock, as the
sentinel was walking his lonely
beat, his attention was attracted
to the front barracks by a slight
sound resembling the rustling of
leaves by a gentle wind. Instant
/ ly between the two large forty-six
pound siege guns there Appeared
a soldier dressed in Confederate
uniform and mounted on o large
gray horse. His sword was drawn,
his horse tightly lei gned up and
two white plumes foated grace
fully above his hat. The sentinel,
at first almost paralyzod with ter
ror, had gazed upon the object
but an instant, when it started
through the sallyport into the
courty ard at rouLd trot, crossing
the sentinels beat and making no
audible sound, although he was
passing over solid brick pave
ment.
The sentinel challenged, with a
loud voice, "Who goes there?"
! The rider did not heed HIM, but
passed on at the sane pace until
arriving ut an abrupt, dangerous
anl impossible precipice at the
rear of the barracks he vanished.
The sentinel promptly called his
corporal, who informed the lieu
tenant of the guard and the officer
OF the day. The guard was i'm
moliately turned out aud though
a close I'D minute search was in
stituted no trace Of horse or rider
could be found.
On the next night a similar
| phenomenon was witnessed by u
party OF cadets and citizens. This
tins n seminal was stationed in
the center OF the sallyport to
await the reappaarance of the
horse and rider. Al the same
time as on the night before, pre-
ceaed by the same sound, the
horse AMI rider appeared and
started through the sallyport at a
great pace. The sentinel com
manded, "Taltl who goes there? %
The horse approached nearer, and
when two feet from the point Of
the sentinel's bayonet vanished,
only to reappear just N the rear
Of the sentinel. Then he passed
on in the direction he hal taken
the preceding night, again dis4p-
pearing at the edge Of the preci-
pice. An Old veteran present rec
ognized the grand and imposing
form Of the rider to be none other
than that of GeA. Stonewall jack
son. So far nc explanation can

For mon{hs. past. the public
have puzzled over this question,

What is Agaric?
That's the question. 1t is not
whiskey, it is not brandy, neither
is it a fermented liquor, and yet
it is sold and bought for liquor

QUITTING HEAVY LOSERS.
The La Crosse Association Behind
About $4,000.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 30.-R. G. Ro-
dolph, a stakeholder in the La Crosse
club, says: "We have had very I'M
profitable season of it. We will have
lost $4,000 about when the season
closes. The stock company which put
the club on foot started out with a sub
Scribed capital of $500. We thought
that would be sufficient, but we miscal-
culated largely. We did not anticipate
the heavy expenses to which we would be
subjected in getting new players. We cal
culated on our players being paid about
S12O month, but really had to pay
many of them between 500 and $500.
And besides, we had to pay heavily for
the release of players who we secured
to strengthen the team after the season
commenced. Oshkosh was at the bot
tom of the trouble. She started out by
getting expensive players from the
stronger leagues, and La Crosse, Eau
Claire and Duluth, the three towns
in the league nearest her in
point of size and population, had
to follow suit in order to keep
tho peoples interest in the game awake.
La Crosse, however, will stay in the
next season. We are in now and have
got to stay in order to get even on the
deal. Duluth and Eau Claire will
probably lose as much on the season
as La Crosse. 1t is true that the clubs
of these two cities have played to
better business at home than La
Crosse, but they have been I'M
der heavier expense for players. The
small cities of the league feel that
the larger cities, st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Des M0ines and Milwaukee, are doing
them a great injus ice by going out and
leaving them to hustle for themselves.
We have stayed in the league and spent
a great deal of money In order to keep
the organization together and help the
big fellows, and now they are going to
pull out and leave us in the lurch. The
result will be the formation of smaller
league next year, which will probably
include Oshkosh, La Crosse, Duluth, Eau
Claire, Dubuque, WinOna, Rockford
and Rock Islam or some other towns
of about the same size.

MILWAUKEE WALLOPED.
Minneapolis Easily Does Up the
Cream City Nine,

Minneapolis outplayed Milwaukee
yesterday, and fairly and easily won
the game. But for an error at second
the Cream City boys would have suffered
a shut out. Klopf and Shenkel were
the opposing pitchers and both did re-
markedly fine work. KlOpf was the
steadier and was hit oftener, but Shen-
kel was hit harder. Klopf was great at
bases were full and but one out, he re-
tired the side without a run. Foster
and Murray were the only Minneapolis
tans who could hit the ball, but they hit
hard and hit well. Fosters play
was the feature of the game.
Though scarcely recovered from his
injury he appeared in center field and
made two of the prettiest catches seen
on the ground, one being line fly from
Williams bat when men were on bases
that would have been good for three
bags. With the stick he raped out two
singles and double, and by daring and
fleet base running crossed the plate
twice. Murray also played fine game,
while the work of Shaw and Patten was
excellent. In spite of his two errors
Sylvester covered the middle garden
finely for Milwaukee. pulling down five
long flies. including two from Kreig's
bat that had seemed sure three-baggers.
Minneapolis broke the ice in the third
inning. Murray opened with left-feld
drive for two bags and was advanced a
base on Shaw's sacrifice, scoring ON Syl-
veSter's muff of Klopf's fly. The latter
scored on two successive wild throws by
Strauss. In the seventh, after two men
were out, Foster drove double to right
field, scoring on Sylvester's tumble of
Murray'S hit TO center In the ninth
with two men out, Foster hit to center
field, stole second and scored on Muir
rays double to the right field fence.
